On Tuesday, June 14th, 2022, at 7:52 a.m. EDT, the FULL MOON will occur.
The Full Moon occurs on Tuesday morning, when the Sun in Gemini opposes the Moon in Sagittarius. The Full Moon is a period of culmination and promise of completion of what began with the New Moon. It’s a period of romance, fertilization, and relationships, and it’s an emotional time.
We become more aware of what has been lacking or absent in our life, especially in the areas of learning, adventure, passionate living, communicating, sharing, and commuting.
The polarity of Gemini and Sagittarius is a mental axis, with Gemini representing the “lower mind” and Sagittarius representing the “higher mind.” The Sun in Gemini pushes us to think logically, while the Moon in Sagittarius urges us to intuit and think more broadly. Sagittarius represents the search for significance and ideas that go beyond the obvious “Now and then. Gemini is content in its immediate surroundings or neighborhood, whereas Sagittarius encourages us to expand our horizons.
Neglecting either end of the axis will almost certainly result in disaster. A balance between the two energies is ideal, and the Full Moon encourages us to do just that.
This Full Moon is all about communicating, having a positive attitude, and having a spirit of adventure. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time to let it out, as the cosmos’ energy justifies. We’ll find out what this means for us over the following two weeks. We can’t sit on our feelings for the time being. It is necessary for us to express them.
This clash between intellect and intuition/faith is highlighted by the lunation. Symbolically, the Moon is full and shining in the sky “In our own lives, illumination occurs. These new feelings and revelations, on the other hand, are emotional in nature, as there is a flood of emotions bursting forth into our awareness. It’s time to let things out of our systems and express ourselves. Of course, we should proceed with caution, understanding that what comes out of us is raw, unrefined, and not particularly reasonable at this time.
This lunation can cause some ambivalence due to its square to Neptune and harmony to Saturn. We have a strong sense of our responsibilities, but we also have a strong urge to avoid them, which feeds shame and diminishes confidence. Over-rationalizing or rejecting things that make us uncomfortable or that would take more energy and effort if we accepted them should be avoided. While there may be setbacks, we should seek Saturn’s assistance for perseverance and hard effort as we pursue our ambitions and newfound needs.

One Moon, Many Names
The Maine Farmer’s Almanac began printing Native American names for each month of the year in the 1930s. The Pink Moon is named after the herb moss pink, also known as creeping phlox, moss phlox, or mountain phlox, a plant endemic to the eastern United States and one of the first widespread blossoms of spring, according to this almanac. This Moon was also known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Fish Moon among coastal tribes because it was when the shad swam upstream to spawn.
This is also the Passover Moon, or Pesach Moon. Pesach, also known as Passover, begins at sunset on Friday, April 15, 2022, and ends at dusk on Saturday, April 23, 2022. On the first two evenings of Passover, the Seder feasts are held.
This is the Paschal Moon in the Christian ecclesiastical calendar, from which the date of Easter is computed. The Latinized equivalent of Pesach is Paschal. Easter, also known as Pascha, is a Christian celebration celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. However, the dates of these astronomical events diverge from the calendars used by the Eastern and Western churches. This is one of the years when these distinctions are crucial. Easter will be observed in Western Christianity on April 17, 2022, the Sunday following the first full moon of spring. Easter will be celebrated a week later, on Sunday, April 24, in Eastern Christianity.
This full moon coincides with Hanuman Jayanti, the Hindu festival commemorating Lord Hanuman’s birth, which is observed in most locations on the full moon day of the Hindu lunar month of Chaitra.
This full moon is Bak Poya for Buddhists, notably in Sri Lanka, as it commemorates the visit of the Buddha to Sri Lanka, when he mediated a dispute between leaders and prevented a war.
The Moon and Calendars
The months shift with the new moon in many traditional lunisolar calendars, and full moons occur in the middle of lunar months. This full moon falls in the midst of the Chinese calendar’s third month.
The months begin with the first glimpse of the waxing crescent moon shortly after the new moon in the Islamic calendar. This full moon occurs near the middle of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month. The month of Ramadan is commemorated as the month when the Quran was revealed. One of the Five Pillars of Islam is to observe this annual month of charitable activities, prayer, and fasting from sunrise to sunset.
In honor of the full moon, as is customary, donning appropriately joyful celestial apparel is encouraged. Enjoy the spring flowers, think about charitable actions, leave an extra seat at the table, and try not to start any wars.
On a full moon, what should you do?
People are generally moody, sensitive, and tired in the days leading up to a full Moon. It’s a good idea to take a moment and ask yourself how you’re feeling physically and mentally. How are your personal and professional relationships? Being aware of your emotions will help you stay grounded and make beneficial adjustments more quickly. The full Moon is an excellent opportunity to reflect and re-calibrate.
